T8 ballast for T5?

[banditpowdercoat]

I have a bunch of 2 bulb 48" T8 ballasts. I'm wondering if they will work for T5 bulbs?

Thx in advance

tried that when t5s first came out. no go. and those were normal out put not t5HO.

I have a reptile ballast that is for T8 bulbs but comes with T5 bulb adapters so I would figure they would work as long as the ballast for the T8 is rated higher than the T5 bulb you are going to use..
